3. The Optimal Driving Solution for Pool Robots – Micro Geared Motors

A.Wheel drive part

Motor requirements:

  • High torque:The drive wheels require strong torque to overcome water resistance during movement.
  • Precise speed control:The motor must precisely control the robot to ensure smooth movement and climbing between the pool bottom and walls.
  • Compact design:The wheel installation space is limited, so the motor needs to be as compact as possible.

B.Cleaning Wheel part

Motor requirements:

  • Continuous speed and torque: The cleaning wheel must maintain consistent speed and torque to effectively remove debris and stains.
  • Waterproofness: Waterproofness is essential to prevent the motor from failing due to water infiltration.

Why we used micro geared motor for Pool Cleanning Robots?

The micro geareed motor, with its compact size, high torque output, precise control, and waterproof features, meets the demands of both wheel drive and cleaning wheels in pool robots. It ensures stable movement in water, enhances cleaning efficiency, and provides consistent torque for the cleaning wheel, proving its effectiveness in complex operating conditions.

Advantages for Micro Geared MotorDescription
Compact SizeThe matching structure of the motor and the gearbox ensures the motor is compact
High Torque and Low RpmThe gearbox can effectively reduce the speed of the motor and significantly increase the motor torque.
Precision ControlMicro geared motors offer precise speed and torque control
WaterproofingDesigned with waterproof and corrosion-resistant materials.
Customizable OptionsThe combination of gearbox and motor offers customers extensive customization options. Whether it’s a square or round gearbox, DC or BLDC motor, parameters like voltage, torque, speed, and gear ratio can all be tailored to meet specific customer requirements.
